ESSENTIAL OIL: Peppermint (Organic)

Peppermint essential oil, 100% pure and extracted from Mentha piperita, is a popular choice in aromatherapy for its invigorating and refreshing scent.

Traditionally used by ancient Greeks and Romans to alleviate digestive discomfort, it has maintained its significance in modern applications.

In aromatherapy, peppermint essential oil is often employed to help promote mental clarity, enhance focus, and uplift mood.

In natural cosmetic and perfumery, it is used for its cooling and soothing properties, ideal for skincare products targeting redness or irritation.

With a versatile and revitalizing aroma, Mentha piperita is a valuable addition to various therapeutic and cosmetic applications.

• Peppermint essential oil is multi-purpose, earning the reputation of being one of the most versatile oils in the world along with Lavender oil.
